1) The document discusses managing personalised learning in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) sessions by exploring individual learning plans (ILPs) and how to incorporate personalized learning into group teaching. 2) An Ofsted report showed that teaching at one school improved from inadequate to good as lessons began to better address individual student needs through improved ILPs and progress monitoring. 3) The rest of the session would involve writing new ILP templates in small groups, planning lessons to incorporate personalised learning and goals from ILPs.

6. Keighley Ofsted Report Feb 2008 (Grade 4) Teaching and learning are inadequate. In the majority of lessons, there is insufficient focus on the needs of the individual learner. There is too much full group teaching during which individual learners make insufficient progress. Assessment and the monitoring of learners’ progress are unsatisfactory. Individual learning plans lack clear targets and often act as a record of teaching undertaken. There is insufficient formative assessment for ESOL learners.

7. Keighley Ofsted Report Feb 2009 (Grade 2) Teaching and learning is now good overall and there were no inadequate lessons observed by inspectors. Most lessons are planned in detail and take into account the needs of individual students The monitoring of students’ progress and the overall quality and use of individual learning plans have improved. In many cases challenging and measurable learning targets are set for individual students. The actions set to achieve these targets are appropriate and effective. The progress made is reviewed regularly. A few individual learning plans are insufficiently detailed and the recording of progress and setting of new targets are not sufficiently clear.

8. Structure for the rest of the session Whole group – new ILP template Small group activities – negotiating and writing ILPs Coffee Small group activities – planning sessions Whole group plenary

9. The Process for Individuals Screening and initial assessment Diagnostic assessment Approaching ILPs with learners Writing SMART targets using learner friendly language Case studies – making targets relevant to the learners’ interests Audit of ILPs – Do they cut the mustard?

10. The lesson Planning lessons for tutorials Incorporating personalised learning into lessons and lesson plans Entry 1 Entry 3
